This painting shows a woman looking straight ahead with a calm expression. She has dark, wavy hair and wears a light-colored blouse with a high collar. The background is plain, keeping the focus on her face and hands. The brushstrokes are loose and the colors are soft, giving the portrait a simple yet striking look. The artist used a mix of light and shadow to shape her face. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this technique works in other art.
